Rapper DMX set to be released from prison after serving time for tax fraud

Rapper DMX has been released from federal prison after serving nearly a year behind bars for tax fraud, his attorney confirmed to the Independent Mail.

The rapper, whose name is Earl Simmons, is planning to head back to New York after his 9 a.m. release this morning, his attorney Murray Richman said.

Before his arrest, Simmons had lived for several years in the Greer suburb of Lyman.

Simmons was arrested four times in South Carolina in 2013 and has been detained since his bail was revoked in January 2018. He was sentenced for tax fraud in March and has been serving time at a West Virginia prison, according to prison records.
